Back from my fast
(Written by kencraw)
Hello Bear Fans!
I’m back in business starting today and it looks like I didn’t miss much. There was no court ruling. Cal Basketball has played mediocre enough to make it to the NIT. Spring practice hasn’t started for football. What else is there?
Just so everyone knows, here’s the plan for blogging:
- I’ll post on the Cal vs. OSU NIT game tonight
- I’ll post on spring practice and am hoping to be able to go down a couple times to watch scrimages and the such
- I’ll give updates on the trial and why the ruling is taking so long
- I’ll take us on a walk down memory lane and the 2005 season (more on this in a sec)
- Later in the spring I’ll review each of the 2007 games
About reviewing past games, I’m become a big fan of keeping DVD archives of every game. There’s always an excuse to go back and look at the old games. Part of making the DVD’s is to watch my finished product on the TV to make sure there were no writing errors and it plays on my DVD player. Since I recently got all of the 2005 games, I’ve got to go through and watch them all. I figure if I’m watching them, I might as well blog about them.
I’ll be doing the same thing with the 2007 season which I still need to download from my DVR and edit our the comercials. My goal is to do 1 a week of those leading up to fall practice.
I hope everyone is excited for the upcoming season as I am!

welcome back!
was it hard going without blogging about Cal?

Both yes and no. There were periods where I was reading the other Cal blogs and that made it much harder. For the most part I went ‘cold turkey’ on Cal sports for the last 6+ weeks and that was easier than reading and not writing.
I also think the fact that I was on a food fast as well made it easier. My mental effort was very focused on doing my all not to feel hungry. I don’t know if you’re a religious man Ragnarok, but if you are, if you ever want to put yourself entirely in God’s care, do a religious fast. You’ll pray like you never have before.
But despite how spiritually fulfilling it was, I’m glad to be done and glad to be back.

[…] going to be doing a review of every game in 2005 (see here for why). Before we get to the specific games, a trip down memory […]
